EDITORIAL CO.1VlMENT Another year is almost 'gone and while the 1922 council have been pro- gressive in the laying of pavements,: there still remains one thing undone, which we believe' every 'ratepayer of �Titigimant would have been pleased to, have sect completed. We refer to the: filthy and: forlorn;condition of the' Op- era. House. 'Fire old 'electric light ,fix tures, especially the battered tin shad- ed footlights, should have been.renew ed long- ago: The dirty walls and ceiling are in.need of kalson a tie and the old broken chairs which are nailed together in rows might be exchanged for other• slats • We know frill well that if the lights are changed the hall will have to be . rewired, but'if the claim made , by th"e.hydro engineers is true, and we believe it is, the old wiring is very apt ,to be the means of fire. This is not meant for a knock, but simply. a reminder for the 1923 council. 'Che council passing- out have been progressive in, many ways and' we would now urge the new council to keep up the good 'work, !not waste- fully but with enterprise.

Alcohol's grip, grip in the still wet countries, and its heavy hold on the still fed countries are delaying the ad- vent of the Millennium, he asserts. The Millennium is ready and tempest- uously anxious to burst upon us and deluge us with everlasting joy, peace, happiness and content; but the'Sinnister strength of King Alcohol holds it in leash.; and damns it, he' roars; and oh, the 'ptty. of it damns 'it .too. So runs the argument of -the. prohibitionist; It seems to me that this way'of short-circuiting itself' is not the way the Millennium will adopt in advanc- ing upon us.. I do not think, more- over, : that it will concern itself' over- much as to' whither its advent will be toasted in wine or water, or celebrated by a feast of slain bullocks, or a veg- etarian festival. It will not be con- cerned in the slightest T think with what men are eating and drinking. on its arrival; but, it will' not come,,I feel sure, until all the people of the earth have at:least enough to eat and drink. "When liberty and mirth shall beaut- ify the earth,- And hunger and hardship flee °away."

Alcohol is a poison, they. aver, therefore no one should be allowed to drink it, 10• any form, at any time, for any reason. ' Alcohol they claim des- troys life, health, and vitality, Now, II ask them in all seriousness, has it not also saved many a life. What about the superb vitality of the scotch highlanders, there is no higher vital- ity anywhere. The scotch highlanders are a long lived people, yet they drink' "versa much wheskey." When our soldiers had any stiff fighting.fighting.to do over in France and elsewhere they were given' a shot of rum to increase their efficiency, ,not to lower their vit-, ality, the vitality that suffered there- by was the German variety. Excessive drinking, is, of course a bad thing, just as bad a thing as ex -1 cessive eating or. excessive loafing.
